Development of new products

The Nissan Smart House exhibited at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show is made mostly of paper cores.
The paper core has a special honeycomb structure and has many advantages such as being strong with a load capacity of 1㎡/3 tons, being lightweight, short construction time, and easy disposal. It is used for a wide variety of purposes including ceiling materials, floor materials, wall materials, furniture, and other fixtures.

The bamboo veneer for Mizuno’s arrow manufacturing was also developed from this material.

Bamboo laminated wood has various possibilities.
For example, it is used as a decorative material due to its beauty, and it is also used as a material for functionality due to its characteristics of both flexibility and robustness.

In addition, although the details of most new product developments cannot be disclosed due to confidentiality agreements, there are some things that can be disclosed, such as achievements in the Birdman Contest.
